I did not know this ABBA song existed up until last Thursday.
If the video seems familiar, it was used in a slightly edited form for “Nina, Pretty Ballerina” (my favourite ABBA video) which I’ve also posted here.
I get the feeling that this was the original video and it was shot for this song specifically because the lyrics fit in with the shooting more than in the “Nina..” video.
 

 

 
Another by these two beautiful ladies.
Baccara:   Mayte Mateos in black, and María Mendiola, in white “Sorry I’m a Lady”
 

 
Sadly María Mendiola passed away in 2021 at the age of 69.
In keeping with the song I give you a short quote from Raphael Minder’s memorial article in the “New York Times” of Friday, September 24, 2021, (Section B, Page 11 / submitted from Madrid).
 
Their debut, at a club in Zaragoza, was short-lived: The management fired them for being
“too elegant” — another way of saying that they refused to do lap dances for the club’s
patrons.

Baccara: Not available in my country.

Which is where the majority of us live.

Okay, let’s try this version.
I’m surpised the VEVO version isn’t available to you; its headquarters are in New York City. You’d think they could pull an override.

Well, you probably can…

But computer screens (hopefully) don’t have much of a scent.

I suggest sniffing the real flower instead of a picture. 😁

That’s what I like too.

I’ve read articles over the years that say red roses are trite, and you should give yellow or pink instead….

I’m here to say no!

Red roses are the best!

Oh, sure, the famous fried egg plant. Bit macabre having the chick staring up at it.

One of my favorite flowers, an amazing plant that startled and enchanted me, when I first saw it while walking my brother’s dogs in the hills of Oakland, California, is sometimes called the fried egg plant, or the fried egg poppy.

It’s native to southern California and Mexico, but more rare in northern California, as it doesn’t like our cold foggy nights.

It’s really called the Matilija poppy, or tree poppy, and supposedly grows about 4 to 10 feet tall, but the ones I found were taller.

The blooms are as wide as large dinner plates, with white petals surrounding bright yellow centers.

I’d love to grow it, but it’s hard to establish, too gigantic for my tiny yard, invasive, and after all that, not very hardy.

Oops… forgot the image.

The ones i saw, which I afterward walked up to see many times, were long established, and had branched into trees, though the “trunks” were actually giant flower stems.

I couldn’t find a picture like them… wish I’d taken some.

I thought he was going to throw the blanket over the dog.

I’ve known dogs who loved that game…

One tried to get made into the bed, so she could fight her way out.

Good evening, Cleo Pals and Puzzle People.

I was wondering whether everybody had questions and I’d have to apologize for being late, cos I had a late phone call.

(Another friend in the hospital! This has to stop!)

But I only see one comment about the puzzle.

I’m sure you’ll find more, Happy³!

I do think a few of these difference are a bit harder to see than last week’s… But you can find them.

Meanwhile, it’s an amusing picture, if a bit fuzzy in some details, so it’s fun to search.

And when you’ve finished, you can see what I’ve found, by

Woohoo 8. I’m thrilled because I thought I had only 6. somewhere I miscounted one and another one I found I had discounted as a copy/paste effect. Only two songs today, so not as much time to search (I doubt I’d have found any more anyway).

From things you have said, I don’t think you drive anymore, and I doubt YMM is up to it either right now.
I do hope you have some kind of home care coming in (or at least a well stocked freezer).

I wish your daughter could stay, but I’m sure she has a life to get back to. Glad she could do what she did.

I, too, hope you’ll have.some help at home!

Please don’t take on too much…. either of you!

I’m thinking about things like cooking and cleaning, and grocery shopping, and laundry.

Neither of you should be doing all of it!
